I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'm so glad Mac is safe. And, yeah, John Hannah might be fun to keep around. And of course Agent May is ok, which would have been a deal-breaker for me, but I was never really worried about her being the one to die.

I will take a moment to mourn the evil coat of evilly swooping evil.

Overall, I enjoyed this season, but I got real tired of it being the Daisy of SHIELD show instead of the Agents of SHIELD. And the Dark Willow plotline. I feel like Jed and Marissa are regurgitating season 6 of Buffy. And while I enjoyed that on Buffy, it made me yawn through the last 3-4 episodes. Kree!Summers' blood! Hive sway is addictive! Blahblahblah. I will admit to crying with Chloe Bennett because she gives good cry face, but not for the writing: trite, overblown and derivative. I won't miss Lincoln (I like Yo-yo much better), but I will miss Hive; all he needed was leather pants to make him perfect.

edited to fix actor (Luke) vs. character name (Lincoln)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I'm somewhat less thrilled that they turned their Latino gay dude into an Alpha Primitive mook

Wait wait, I missed that!! He got gassed?? I didn't even know he was there.

I'm glad the signs pointing to Yo-Yo buying the farm in orbit were red herrings.

SAME. I like her a lot.

I wonder if they're changing focus because the Inhumans movie got backburnered. Which works for me. I would like some focus on other people--like Phil! And Gemma and Fitz! Fitz took down the Iron Chef Chairman without hesitation with an invisible gun! Go Fitz! How those two have changed.

I found myself wishing Hive and Phil could have had a conversation where the fate of the earth wasn't involved.

And yes, the coat should be mourned. Good evil coats deserve it.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.

THIS.

I was actually thinking this morning, "wait, 'Fallen Agent'? Lincoln wasn't even an agent." So "Fallen Agent" probably refers instead to Daisy going all dark and uggggghhhhhh do not want.

Every time John Hannah is onscreen my brain goes to an Alias place. He's already brainwashed! To be a murderer for hire!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I mean, like you said, it also means we don't really care, but I cared more because Daisy cared. Chloe Bennett gave me tiny feelings.

Yeah, me too. I thought she did well when she was self-hating and wracked with guilt. I can even see it leading to upset and rebelling Daisy, but her rage hair is pretty funny.

And there's no way the Hispanic guy whose name I can't remember got turned into a Primitive. That only worked on humans, right?

Yeah, he was already an Inhuman. Even if he was there, the gas wouldn't do anything to him. And I don't think he was there.

A review reminded me that his name is Joey.

I guess the first half of next season will be The Hunt for Emo!Daisy (sigh) because that was a lot of stuff they dropped that needs explained. Though it is nice when a show gets enough warning that they're coming back that they have time to prep for an outline of the next season.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

The guy who got transformed sure looked like Joey to me. Hive didn't warp that process so it works on Inhumans too?
